NEW YORK - April 15, 2021 – From 1980 melalui 1989, four great champions and future Hall of Famers raised the level of their sport. It was boxing at its best, at its most enthralling. Over the span of one glorious decade, they fought each other nine times.Roberto “Manos de Piedra” Durán, Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Thomas “The Hitman” Hearns, dan Sugar Ray Leonard,known collectively as the “Four Kings,” formed a fierce rivalry and arguably the greatest period in the history of the sport.
SHOWTIME SPORTS DOCUMENTARY FILMS will be presentingTHE KINGS, a four-part series chronicling the four fighters’ dramatic and divergent ascents to greatness and the legendary matches they produced. They dominated an era of their own creation, but not each other. The weekly series premieres on Sunday, Bulan Juni 6 di 8 p.m. DAN / PT pada SHOWTIME, with all episodes being made available across the network’s on-demand and streaming platforms at premiere.
Today marks the 36th anniversary of the epic middleweight championship battle between Hagler and Hearns. Long considered the high-water mark of the Four Kings era, Hagler-Hearns stands out for the drama and brutal non-stop action that was compressed into just over eight minutes from start to finish. The fight and the opening stanza were consensus Fight of the Year and Round of the Year, masing-masing, but many consider both as one of, kalau tidakitu,all-time best in their respective categories.
Di bawah, please find the observations and recollections of those who covered that fight, many who are featured inTHE KINGS.
“I remember the week of the fight, Hagler wore a baseball hat with ‘WAR’ on the front, dan saya pikir, ‘eh, the usual pre fight hype’, until the first bell, then I said, “WOW, Hagler was right.”
– Teddy Atlas,Hall of Fame trainer and boxing analyst
“I covered the fight as a columnist for The New York Times. Here was my lead: Until Thomas Hearns fell, with the assistance of a smashing right to the face by Marvelous Marvin Hagler, and was ruled the loser at 2:01 dari babak ketiga, hardly a second passed that one of the fighters wasn’t throwing and landing a stunning blow.”
– Ira Berkow, ringside for The New York Times
“The excitement at the outdoor arena at Caesars Palace was palpable. As I sat ringside I did something I now do regularly before a match. When both Hagler and Hearns had entered and were in the ring I took my headsets off just to feel the emotion of the crowd better. I wanted to live that moment. Saat Ini, I do that before every big match just before it begins. At the end of the first round, I said on the telecast, ‘This is one of the best rounds in middleweight boxing history.’ I may have been underselling it.”
– Al Bernstein, SHOWTIME Boxing analyst /ringside, called the fight as part of the live closed-circuit telecast team
“I knew trouble was brewing when in the last leg of their nationwide press tour, Marvin stuck dinner napkins in both ears as Tommy stood to continue three weeks of boasting about a third-round knockout. ‘He’s half right,’ Hagler later groused. The first round sucked the air out of the arena and the finish was Hagler’s violent response to all the forces he believed had tried to deny him greatness his whole career. Marvin took all his frustrations out on poor Tommy and left him in a heap on the floor, broken like an old beach chair.”
– Ron Borges,ringside for the Boston Globe
“I was sitting first-row ringside that night next to Ed Schuyler Jr., the great AP boxing writer. We were anticipating a good fight, but we had no idea how good. The bell rang and suddenly Hagler and Hearns were fighting in a fury that was hard to comprehend and just as hard to describe. When the round ended, I remember looking at Schuyler shaking my head, not saying a word, and he did the same to me back. It was like ‘What did we just see?’ I’ve seen thousands of fights, but to this day that three minutes of mayhem is forever etched in my mind. No need to watch the old video, I remember it almost punch by punch. Greatest first round ever, and top five in greatest fights I’ve ever covered.”
– Tim Dahlberg,ringside for the Associated Press
“A wise old journalist once told me, ‘If you’re covering a fight, or anything for that matter, that’s truly sensational, don’t try to write it that way. Underplay it.’ I think of that advice whenever anybody mentions Hagler-Hearns. For fight fans, it was invigorating, inspiring, incredible – everything we could ever hope for. For fight writers, it was a bit different. How could we describe that first round without overstepping our bounds? Sometimes it’s easier being a fan.”
– Steve Farhood, SHOWTIME Boxing analyst / Covered the fight as senior writer for KO magazine
“I will always remember sitting in the truck, as the producer of the telecast, and telling Marc Payton, the director, to stick with the hand-held camera in the last minute of the first round, mesmerized that they had planted themselves in front ofbahwa kamera. It was the longest three minutes of action in my entire career. I turned to Marc at the end of the round and just asked, ‘What the hell was that?’ It was actually a more emphatic expletive than that.”
– Ross Greenburg, executive producer of the fight telecast
“At the end of the first round I was literally speechless. The action had been so incredibly intense – they had attacked each other with the kind of ferocity you only see in a horror movie – that I had watched it all with my mouth wide open, and in the dry desert air my mouth had become completely bone dry, so I was unable to get a word out when Ian Darke asked me for my comment. Eventually I managed to say, ‘That’s the greatest round of boxing I’ve ever seen.’ And all these years later, it still remains so.”
– Colin Hart, ringside for The Sun and BBC Radio
“Whenever I’m asked to name the most exciting sporting event I ever attended, I respond, ‘Hagler-Hearns.’ Never do I have to explain.”
– Barry Horn, ringside for the Dallas Morning News
“Greatest first round in the history of boxing at any weight. Hearns hits him with the best right hand he ever threw, wobbles him, opens a cut on his forehead but two rounds later Marvin fights off the blood and knocks him out. Seventy years covering boxing and I never saw anything like it.”
– Jerry Izenberg, ringside for The Star-Ledger
“Being at ringside for the eight minutes of fury known as the Marvin Hagler-Thomas Hearns fight was as close as anyone could come to understanding the days of gladiators in the Roman Colosseum. The first round was all-out warfare with both fighters exchanging their best power shots. Hearns tried to box in the second, but Hagler wouldn’t let him, and when the blood started pouring from a cut on Hagler’s forehead in the third and there was a danger the fight might be stopped, Hagler later said, ‘It turns me on, the monster comes out.’ Boy, did it! I never will forget the image of one of Hearns’ handlers cradling him like a child and carrying him to the corner, which is why I led with that picture. Easily the most savage boxing match I’ve witnessed between two all-time greats.”
– Greg Logan, ringside for Newsday
“Although the action and drama lasted eight-plus breathless minutes, it actually was over in the first minute or so when KO star Hearns landed a flush right and Hagler didn’t blink. It was then I realized that Hagler, normally a patient stalker, had signaled his intention to use his middleweight strength to challenge a big welterweight by pounding his chest defiantly just before the opening bell rang. A night and fight to remember.”
– Larry Merchant, ringside commentator for delay telecast
“Obviously the greatest round of boxing I’ve ever seen, let alone called. One of those moments that you knew the magnitude of as it was happening. That first round felt like it was a half hour long.”
– Barry Tompkins, SHOWTIME Boxing analyst / ringside to call the delay fight telecast
“I didn’t know what to expect since it was my first time watching a fight at a movie theater. Whites and Blacks in Memphis only socialized around sports back then. It was a mixed crowd in the theater, but the same reaction: pure joy and excitement. Everyone stood throughout the entire fight. It was violent, courageous, and thrilling.”
– George Willis, covering from a closed-circuit outlet in Memphis for The Commercial Appeal
“I covered that fight, dan banyak lainnya, for The Detroit News. I’ll never forget the absolute savagery in the way Hearns and Hagler went at each other from the opening bell, and the way the crowd roared with every punch. One telling moment: Hearns connected with a wicked left hook that turned Hagler half around from the force of the punch — but never fazed him. It has been called the greatest short fight in history, and that stands up to this day. The first round set the tone. I remember after the fight someone asked Larry Merchant of HBO how he scored that first round. ‘I gave them both 11,’ he replied. That said it all.”
– Mike O’Hara,ringside for The Detroit News
“My memory of the first round: action so immediate and reckless that spectators were left breathless. So were the reporters at ringside. I was there for the Boston Globe, and I remember the veteran scribes who sat paralyzed after the bell, unable to type or scratch notes, me included. A deep gash opened above Hagler’s right eye, and Hearns’ right hand fractured. In the third round, with blood running down Hagler’s nose, the referee stopped the bout and asked Hagler if he could continue. Hagler snapped: ‘I’m not missing him, am I?’ When the bout resumed Hagler attacked quickly, bounced three long rights off of Hearns’ head, and watched him twist downward to the canvas.”
– Steve Marantz, ringside for the Boston Globe
“I remember how difficult it was, on a tight deadline, to give justice to that spectacular first round. How many superlatives could I pack into the story without inducing nausea? Hagler quietly, confidently selling the fight – simply, wearing a cap with ‘War’ emblazoned on the front. Then that nail-hard infantryman, coming, always coming after Hearns. Hearns out on his feet, chin on referee Richard Steele’s shoulder and then carried to his corner. I can still hear the crowd roaring throughout the short fight, knowing all of us were witnessing a brawl for the ages.”
– John Phillips, ringside for Reuters
“What I remember about this war was there was no feeling (each other) out, they just came out slugging from the opening bell! It was so loud outside at Caesars Palace, the most iconic venue, that made this fight even more special. I wish more fights were outside. I also thought that Referee Richard Steele did a great job and just let them fight!”
– Marc Ratner, Nevada State Athletic Commission Inspector for Hagler-Hearns
“Hagler-Hearns was the first major fight I covered and the first time I was ever in Las Vegas. I was there to do sidebars and run quotes for Greg Logan, who was doing the main story for Newsday. I got a seat in press row when press row was truly ringside, literally within 10 feet of the ring apron. And after the incredible first round, I was on my feet, my legs quivering, when I noticed all the other older, more grizzled reporters were standing too, stunned by what we all had just seen. At that moment, Eddie Schuyler of the AP turned to me and deadpanned in that sardonic manner of his, ‘You know, kid, they aren’t all like this.’ He turned out to be right. Over the next 38 years and who knows how many first rounds, I have yet to see another one like that.”
– Wally Matthews, ringside for Newsday

NEW YORK - April 12, 2021 -Dalam tinju, it is said that styles make fights. Dari 1980 melalui 1989, it was the style of four great fighters that not only made legendary fights, it ushered in a boxing renaissance. The fierce rivalry between world champions and future Hall of Famers known as the “Four Kings” –Roberto “Manos de Piedra” Durán, Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Thomas “The Hitman” Hearns, dan Sugar Ray Leonard– produced a Golden Age defined by the nine world championship fights between them and solidified their place among the greatest to ever live.
SHOWTIME SPORTS DOCUMENTARY FILMS today announcedTHE KINGS, a four-part series chronicling the four fighters’ dramatic and divergent ascents to greatness and the legendary matches they produced. The weekly series premieres on Sunday, Bulan Juni 6 di 8 p.m. ET /PT on SHOWTIME, with all episodes being made available across the network’s on-demand and streaming platforms at premiere.
THE KINGSspotlights boxing’s evolution from the end of Muhammad Ali’s era to the era of the Four Kings, set against the seismic political and socio-economic shifts taking place in the United States. The Four Kings rose to fame as the presidency of Jimmy Carter and economic recession gave way to the boon of 1980s capitalism and excess harnessed by the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Semak. Through in-depth interviews and archival footage, the series also examines the very personal battles that each man waged on his unique journey to the center of the sports world.
“These four men defined an era in boxing,"Kata Stephen Espinoza, Presiden, SHOWTIME Olahraga. “Their individual stories, forever linked by the spectacular battles they waged, reflect a tumultuous period in American culture and history.THE KINGStakes the viewer beyond the glorious action of some of history’s most memorable prizefights to illuminate each man’s dramatic journey and the societal context that made them stars of sports and popular culture.”
Following a brief fallow period in the wake of Ali’s retirement, boxing was revitalized when Leonard became a world champion in 1979 and waged his first battle with Durán in 1980. From that point, the Four Kings engaged in a decade-long run of riveting fights that far outperformed any other sport in attention and revenue. They were the most popular stars of sports and American culture.
Dari 1979 melalui 1985, as a mark of their incredible achievements, the Boxing Writers Association of America bestowed these men the coveted title of “Fighter of the Year” annually with the lone exception of 1982 – with Leonard, Hagler and Hearns each winning twice. In the nine world title fights between them, there were four knockouts and three of the bouts were recognized byThe Ringmagazine as “Fight of the Year.” The Ringmagazine “Round of the Year” (and to many, the round of all time) from round one of Hagler-Hearns is, jangan jangan, the most iconic single round of boxing of all time. Fittingly, THE KINGSpremieres in the 45th anniversary year of Leonard winning an Olympic gold medal, and the 40th anniversary year of the welterweight world title unification battle between Leonard and Hearns, widely considered their greatest fight and a symbol of the era.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Putaran. (Bulan Juni 4, 2020) – Like many boxers, Juara dunia dua divisi “El Gallo” Jose Antonio Riveracredits boxing for saving his life.
“Absolutely,” Rivera agreed. “After my mom passed away when I was 10 tua tahun, I gave up on life and my decision-making reflected that: hanging around with the wrong crowd including gang members, consuming alcohol between the ages of 10 and 15. I was definitely going in the wrong direction.
“I never thought I had a future until I started boxing. It’s hard to say what I’d be doing if I had never boxed, but by the way I was living, I’d probably be in jail or dead by now.”
Born in Philadelphia, Rivera lived in Puerto Rico and Springfield, MA, prior to him moving to Worcester, MA, where he met a man who helped change his life, Carlos Garcia, who was in charge of a special boxing program at the Worcester Boys & girls Club.
Rivera had started boxing at the age of 14 ½ in a basement with his friend, Felix Lopez. He had fallen in love with boxing after watchingRoberto Duranupset"Gula" Ray Leonardin their first fight. The young Puerto Rican-American specifically used his amateur boxing experience to prepare for the professional ranks. Garcia, who is in the National Golden Gloves Hall of Fame, put him in a novice match after only one amateur fight in order to put Rivera on the fast track, because he understood that Rivera dreamed of becoming a world champion as a professional. Rivera finished with a 35-15 catatan amatir, highlighted by a bronze medal performance at the PAL Nationals.
“I never had big amateur aspirations but, tentu saja, I wanted to win every fight I competed in,” Rivera said. “Once I didn’t qualify for the Olympic Trials, my plan was to turn pro. I didn’t know how much the amateurs would groom me to be a successful professional boxer. I’m glad I listened to my coaches, otherwise I would have turned pro earlier, because I would get frustrated with the politics of the amateurs. I hated losing, but I hated losing even more when I knew that I should have won. After three years together (with Garcia) in the amateurs and gaining a great wealth of experience traveling all over New England, the country and even fighting in Canada, I saw all types of styles and talented boxers that helped me as a pro. Carlos is like a father figure to me and during all of our training and travels, he was always in my head, building me up to become a good boxer, but also to help me become a better man.”
Pada November 7, 1992, Rivera made his pro debut, merobohkanFrancisco Mercedesin the second round. He went on to win his first 23 pro bouts, including the Massachusetts State welterweight title in 1995. His first pro loss was to veteran Philadelphia fighterWillie Wise (20-3-4), who won a controversial 10-round split decision at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut. Rivera had proven that he was more than a prospect in his first loss, losing a close decision (98-95, 94-97, 94-96) to an opponent that upset Mexican iconJulio Cesar Chavez (102-3-2) only three years later.
Showing the same resiliency that stayed with Rivera his entire career, two fights later Rivera stoppedGilberto Floresin two rounds to capture the International Boxing Organization (IBO) world welterweight championship. Rivera extended his new win streak to seven, before losing back to back fights. Four fights later, meskipun, Rivera registered his first statement victory in 2001, merobohkanFrankie Randall (55-10-1) dalam 10thround to retain his North American Boxing Association (Juga) crown in his first defense.
Now promoted by legendary Don King, Rivera traveled across the Atlantic Ocean in September 2003 to Germany, where few Americans were able to win. Rivera proved early that he meant business, dropping previously undefeatedMichel Trabantin the second round en route to winning a 12-round majority decision for the vacant World Boxing Association (WBA). His reign, akan tetapi, didn’t last long. In his first defense, Rivera lost a 12-round split decision at home in Worcester to challengerLuis Collazo (24-1)
Rivera moved up one weight class for his next fight, showing the resiliency that was a staple during his career for his next fight, also at home, against WBA junior middleweight World championAlexandro Garcia (25-1).
In his next fight and first defense of his third world title, Rivera was stopped for the first time in his pro career, by new champTravis Simms (24-0), and then he was knocked out byDaniel Santos (24-0) in round eight of their WBA junior middleweight title eliminator.
Rivera retired in 2008 only to make a comeback in 2001, after which he retired again until returning for two fights in Worcester to complete his pro career with 50 perkelahian, the last coming at the age of 46.
“Jose’s USA Boxing experiences shaped him into the man of character he is today, baik dalam dan keluar dari ring,"KataChris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Director. “He took the road less traveled for a world champion, and in doing so he showcased his toughness and perseverance that made him a great example for today’s USA Boxers.”

Rivera was a true working world champion. Few world champions also had full-time jobs during their title reigns. Rivera used vacation time, as well as personal and sick days, when he went to training camp for some of his major fights.
“I always had a good work ethic growing up,” he explained. “When I moved to Worcester at 16 tua tahun, I lived by myself: school, work, and then to the Boys & Girls Club to train. I kept the same work ethic I had at 19 when I turned pro. I became a father at 20, so providing for my family was essential. Although it was hard, I knew boxing wasn’t going to last forever, and I was lucky enough to find a good job working for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Trial Courts. It made for long days when I was training, especially when I was fighting for or defending my world championships. In the end, meskipun, keeping my job was the best decision I could have made for me and my family.”
Rivera. who was an Associate Court Officer for years and promoted last year to Assistant Chief Court Officer, is still involved in boxing. He and his oldest son, A.J. Rivera, own and operate a boxing promotional company, Rivera Promotions Entertainment, to give young fighters in his area opportunities to fight more often and at home. Jose occasionally drops by the Boys & Girls Club to visit his former coaches, Garcia andRocky Gonzalez, to support their young talent. He also goes to his friendKendrick Ball’s gym, Camp Be Right, to give young fighters there a few tips and to keep in shape (not for another comeback).
Jose Antonio Rivera will be best known for his toughness and determination, which led him into a different life, including three world championships and a wonderful life he never would have enjoyed.

Here is what a group of current and former welterweight fighters had to say about the Garcia vs. Porter world title showdown:
GULA RAY LEONARD, Hall of Fame & Former Unified Welterweight World Champion
“I feel the Danny Garcia vs. Shawn Porter fight has the makings of an exciting fight from what I’ve seen of both of these talented fighters. So here is my prediction based on what I feel both fighters bring into the ring
Garcia will win if he uses his jab to keep Porter at bay and off balance, but Porter gains a victory if he connects and hurts Garcia early and makes him abandon his boxing ability and fight like a slugger — as I did with my first fight vs Roberto Duran.
This is how I see this matchup which should be an exciting fight!”
ERROL SPENCE JR., Unbeaten IBF Welterweight World Champion
“I definitely want to fight the winner of Danny Garcia vs. Shawn Porter. That’s a close fight. I always picked against Danny Garcia in the past, and he always proved me wrong. Shawn Porter’s always a tough fight, because he’s going to come forward and give it his all. He’s basically trying to mug you. Tapi untuk laga ini, it’s hard to go against Danny Garcia. I pick Danny Garcia to win a split decision.”
KEITH THURMAN, WBA kelas welter Juara Dunia; Former Unified Champion
“I honestly love this fight, and I consider it a tremendous battle and one of the best matchups of the year. Bagi saya, having fought both of them, I do believe that each is capable of hurting the other and getting one another out of there.
“I know most fans are going to lean toward Danny Garcia with his knockout power and the potential for that. Then there is Shawn, who’s got a decent punch, even though he focuses on his output more than his one-punch solid blow and has it in his arsenal to hurt Danny Garcia.
“I wouldn’t bet on Shawn getting the knockout, but I would on Shawn getting the victory, simply because of his output. I think Danny’s only chance of winning is by knockout, but even as a gambling man, I can’t put my money on Danny getting it. I’m taking Shawn Porter by decision.”
Manny Pacquiao, Multiple-Time Welterweight World Champion
“I’m going to give the edge to Danny Garcia. They’re both gritty fighters, but I think Garcia is a little more technical with a little more ring generalship. Ini harus menjadi pertarungan besar, and there’s a possibility of me fighting the winner, but we’ll have to see what happens.”
Mikey GARCIA, Four-Division World Champion
“I think this is a very good matchup. Shawn Porter is the kind of athlete who is always bringing the fight to you with pressure and volume punching. They both come to fight and they can both take it and dish it out.
“Danny Garcia can use his skills to box on the outside and work from a distance. I think Danny will be able to box a little more and win more of the tight rounds in a very close fight. I’m not sure if it will be a split-decision or a unanimous decision. I believe that Danny will use more of those tactics to win an exciting decision.”
YORDENIS UGAS, Top Welterweight Contender
“I have much respect for Shawn Porter, and I think it will be a great fight but, Danny Garcia has more technique and he’s also faced and beaten better opponents than Porter. I am leaning toward Danny Garcia to pull off the victory.”
ROBERT GUERRERO, Former Multiple Division World Champion
“This will be a very entertaining fight for the fans. I can see Danny putting up a good fight, but Porter is going to make the fight rough, and Garcia doesn’t like those type of fights. I’m going with Porter to win by split decision.”
VICTOR ORTIZ, Former Welterweight World Champion
“Saya pikir itu akan menjadi pertarungan cepat. Shawn will be pushing forward, making it rough on Danny, and Danny will be trying to control the distance. I’m going with Danny, giving him the slight edge and saying he wins by a decision.”
JAMAL JAMES, Welter Contender
“It’s a good one. Shawn is busier than Danny, more active and carries a lot of momentum when he fights. But that’s not always a good thing because Garcia has power with his timing, he might be able to catch Porter coming in. I’m thinking that Shawn Porter pulls it off. ”
BRANDON RIOS, Mantan Juara Dunia & Welterweight Title Challenger
“That’s a really tough fight to predict. If Danny can counter really well and keep Shawn Porter off of him while Porter’s coming in, then I see Danny stopping him.
But if Shawn Porter is able to pressure Danny like he usually does, I don’t see Shawn Porter stopping Danny, or anything, but I see him winning by split-decision if he can be in his chest all night long. But if Porter gets nailed with one of those left hooks or a straight right hand, I say Porter goes down. I’m going to go with Danny because he knocked me out.”
BRYANT PERRELLA, Welter Prospect
“It could come down to how well Shawn Porter can take Danny Garcia’s punches in a fight that’s really hard to predict, and how well Danny can move, given that he’s not known for having fast feet similar to a guy like Keith Thurman.
But if Shawn can get close and smother Danny’s punches, he will make it a difficult fight. But Danny’s got really heavy hands and sits on his shots well, timing and counter-punching guys, so Porter could play into his hands.
Based off of clean, effective hard shots and giving him the edge in the close, competitive rounds, I’m leaning toward Danny Garcia. Shawn is tough as nails, so I see it going the distance, but just the slight edge to Danny.”
SAMMY VASQUEZ JR., Welter Contender
“I’m going with Shawn Porter. Not by stoppage, but Shawn creates too much pressure and Danny Garcia doesn’t throw enough punches and doesn’t deal with pressure. You saw that when he fought Guerrero, who wasn’t looking too bad in that fight.
“Danny can win by knockout if he catches Shawn with that hook, but Shawn’s a workhorse and he puts forth far more pressure than I think Danny’s ever seen in a fight. Shawn may not be susceptible to it if he doesn’t have the proper head movement, but I believe that he will.”

KUTIPAN & GAMBAR DARI INDUKTUR NYSBHOF
(L-R) – Ron McNair, Jake Rodriguez dan Bob Duffy
JAKE RODRIGUEZ: “Saya ingin berterima kasih kepada Ring 8 untuk kesempatan saya berada di sini. Saya juga ingin berterima kasih kepada istri saya karena selalu ada untuk saya, dan pelatih saya.”
(L-R) – Herb Goldman, Don Majeski dan Bob Duffy
HERB GOLDMAN: “Jika saya telah memberikan kontribusi pada tinju – Saya harap saya punya – Saya melakukannya dengan mendefinisikan ulang pencatatan dan menciptakan perspektif baru tentang sejarah tinju. Saya bangga akan hal itu, tapi saya tidak melakukannya sendiri.”
(L-R) – Joe Mesi, Jack Hirsch dan Bob Duffy
JOE MESI: “Saya memiliki banyak orang untuk berterima kasih atas kehormatan ini. Saya seorang Buffalonian. Tidak ada yang lebih menyukai satu New York, tapi ternyata tidak. Ini spesial bagi saya karena ini adalah Hall of Fame Tinju Negara Bagian New York. Ini menguatkan saya dan membuat saya berpikir bahwa saya bukan hanya anak lokal. Ada kerugian besar yang datang dari kota kecil, sparring tidak sama dengan di gym di New York City, tapi saya mendapat keuntungan datang dari Western New York. Tidak ada orang yang keluar seperti yang kami lakukan di Buffalo 10,000, kemudian 16,00 dan akhirnya 18,000 orang orang. Mereka selalu ada di belakang saya dan saya berbagi ini dengan mereka karena dukungan mereka membuat saya. Impian saya adalah bertarung di Buffalo dan terus bertarung di sana.
“Salah satu hal terpenting dalam hidup saya adalah melawan Monte Barrett di HBO di Madison Square Garden. Dia adalah salah satu petarung terhebat di dunia yang memperjuangkan gelar dunia. Saya selalu ingin mendapatkan gelar juara dunia saya, tapi saya tidak pernah mendapatkannya. Tidak apa-apa, Saya sedikit pahit untuk sementara waktu, tetapi saya tidak bisa lebih bahagia dengan karier saya. Bagian terbaik dari tinju adalah persaudaraan yang kita miliki.
(L-R) – Randy Gordon, Ron Scott Stevens dan Bob Duffy
BAJA RON SCOTT: “Saya tahu orang selalu mengatakannya, tapi inilah kebenarannya: Saya berhutang pada banyak orang yang telah mendukung saya sepanjang karir saya. Tinju selalu jauh dari rumah bagi saya dan hari ini saya merasa seperti di rumah sendiri.
“Tadi saya 30, tinggal di Brooklyn Heights, dan kembali mengendarai taksi menunggu di meja. Sebuah lampu padam di kepalaku: tinju adalah olahraga yang diunggulkan dan saya adalah yang tidak diunggulkan. Keesokan harinya saya pergi ke Gleason's Gym – pusat alam semesta. Saya berkeliling semua gym di kota, promotor pertemuan, manajer dan pelatih. Saya mulai membuat pertandingan untuk promotor dan kemudian Cedric Kushner mempekerjakan saya 1980-2002. Di 2002, Saya mendapat panggilan untuk bekerja di Komisi Atletik Negara Bagian New York sebagai Koordinator Komunitas dan Direktur Tinju. Kemudian, Saya diangkat menjadi ketua dan saya menjabat dua periode. Hari Ini, Saya sangat bangga menjadi bagian dari Hall of Fame Tinju Negara Bagian New York.
(L-R) – Bob Duffy, Henry Hascup, Bob Goodman dan Tommy Gallagher
BOB GOODMAN: “Saya tidak percaya kerumunan ini. Untuk melakukan apa yang kami lakukan, pengorbanan dan dukungan yang Anda dapatkan dari keluarga Anda sangat penting dan (dalam kasus Goodman) selama bertahun-tahun. Mereka mengizinkan kami melakukan apa yang kami lakukan. Kita semua suka tinju!”
(L-R) – Ray Mercer, Penny Allen, Ke sekolah, Clay Jenkins dan Bob Duffy
KE SEKOLAH: “Saya pikir tinju adalah olahraga terbodoh dan terbodoh yang pernah ada. Siapa yang ingin dipukul di wajah? Saya mulai bertinju terlambat. Saya bermain-main dan orang-orang bilang saya cukup bagus. Saya mulai bertinju saat masih muda 20, di Angkatan Darat, ditempatkan di Ft. Kap. Empat tahun kemudian, Saya berada di Tim Olimpiade. Alasan mengapa saya memiliki pasangan tanding yang hebat, Ray Mercer. Jika aku akan berada di ring setiap hari bersama Ray, Saya akan dipukuli, atau menjadi lebih baik.
“Saya ingat Bob Arum memberi saya kartu namanya. Saya tidak kenal dia. Saya hanya tahu tiga orang di tinju: Don King, Muhammad Ali dan Sugar Ray Leonard. Saya tidak mengikuti tinju dan satu-satunya alasan saya bertinju adalah saya harus tidur di hutan jika tidak melakukannya (di Angkatan Darat). Tinju adalah: pukul dia, sebelum dia memukulku.”
(L-R) – Bobby Cassidy, Jr., Jaime Drubin dan Pete Brodsky
PETE BRODSKY: “Saya ingin berterima kasih kepada dewan. Aku akan menjadi 70 dan mulai bertinju ketika saya masih 18. Itu menciptakan arah baru dalam hidup saya. Saya sangat bangga berada di perusahaan dengan orang-orang yang tidak hanya membicarakannya, mereka menyukainya. Jika Anda sangat menyukai olahraga ini, Anda benar-benar harus mempelajarinya. Siapapun yang menginjak ring, ditambah semua perbaikan jalan, waktu di gym dan mengorbankan apa yang mereka makan, melakukan itu untuk menjadi yang terbaik yang mereka bisa.
“Dalam tinju, Anda tidak akan memenangkan setiap pertarungan, tapi apakah petarung menang atau kalah, jika dia memberi 100 persen, dia adalah pemenang. Mereka melakukan pekerjaan, lari lima mil sehari, berolahraga di gym, dan kemudian pulang untuk menghabiskan waktu bersama keluarganya. Teman dan keluarga selalu mendukung Anda.”
(L-R) – Masyarakat Darryl & Melvina Lathan
MELVINA LATHAM: “Saya tidak dapat berkata-kata. Itu luar biasa. Cabul (mantan ketua NYSAC, Gordon), apakah kamu ingat cerita ini? Hanya ada tiga hakim dan, sayangnya, satu disebut sakit. Saya duduk di sisi ring tanpa tanggung jawab. Randy bilang aku harus bekerjamalam ini. Saya mengatakan bahwa saya tidak memiliki lisensi dan tidak dapat melakukannya. Kata Randy, 'Angkat tangan kananmu', dan itu aktif. Saya dilempar ke sana, tapi tidak apa-apa.
“Prestasi terbesar saya adalah anak-anak dan suami saya. Saya tidak bisa meminta situasi yang lebih baik. Dan Ralph Petrillo adalah bagian dari keluargaku; dia orang kedua dalam perintahku. Saya juga memiliki pejabat terbaik: wakil komisaris, inspektur, juri dan wasit. Saya tidak akan berada di sini dengan tanpa mereka. Bob Duffy menyatukan semuanya. Menurut saya pribadi dia luar biasa. Perjalanan saya berlanjut, Saya diberkati.”

“Ini adalah kehormatan besar bagi saya dan ayah saya,” Kata Bob. “Saya berharap dia masih hidup hari ini untuk berada di sana. Saya seorang tinju lifer. Saya berumur delapan tahun pergi ke semua kamp pelatihan dengan ayah saya, yang pernah menjadi penulis tinju dan editor olahraga untuk INS (Hearst News Service) layanan. Leluconnya adalah saya dikandung di Grossinger's (Kamp pelatihan Catskill Resort Hotel). Tinju baru saja memasuki hidup saya. Ayah saya dan saya memiliki beberapa bisnis dalam promosi dan hubungan masyarakat, semua jenis bisnis yang berhubungan dengan olahraga, tapi selalu ada tinju.
“Saya orang paling beruntung di dunia. Saya dibesarkan dengan melakukan hal-hal yang sangat saya sukai. Berapa banyak orang dapat mengatakan itu? Saya bertemu dan berteman dengan Joe Louis, Marcel Cerdan, Sugar Ray Robinson, Rocky Graziano, Rocky Marciano dan banyak lainnya. Saya akan tinggal di kamp selama berminggu-minggu. Saya akan bangun untuk berlari bersama para petinju dan mendapat kesempatan untuk berada di sekitar pahlawan saya. Saya juga mengenal pelatih dan lainnya dalam tinju dan kemudian penggemar. Saya harus mengenal semua orang. Saya dibesarkan di tinju, seluruh hidup saya adalah tinju, 65 tahun dalam bisnis.”
Bob adalah, jangan jangan, paling dikenal sebagai Vice President dan Matchmaker untuk Madison Square Garden (1985-1994), serta seperempat abad menjabat sebagai Wakil Presiden Operasi Tinju, Pencocokan dan Direktur Hubungan Masyarakat Don King Productions. Dia juga mempromosikan banyak juara dunia sebagai Presiden perusahaannya sendiri, Tinju Negara Bagian Taman.
“Saya ingat pergi ke kamp pelatihan selama berminggu-minggu,” Goodman yang berusia 78 tahun selalu mengenangnya. “Saya akan mengambil gambar, menulis cerita setiap hari dan menggunakan telecopier saya untuk mengirimkannya ke AP dan UPI. Saya melakukan begitu banyak hal yang dibesarkan di luar bisnis, bahkan memuat truk dengan kursi, cincin, speaker dan lainnya. Ayah saya adalah Direktur Publisitas Klub Tinju Internasional di Madison Square Garden. Saya bekerja di sana ketika saya masih remaja.
“Saya merasa terhormat dilantik ke Hall of Fame Tinju Negara Bagian New York bersama ayah saya dan begitu banyak petinju. Mereka berbeda dari orang-orang dalam olahraga lainnya. Salah satu penghargaan yang saya menangkan yang paling saya banggakan adalah James J.. Penghargaan Memorial Walker untuk Layanan Panjang dan Berjasa untuk Tinju (BWAA masuk 1960).
“Saya beruntung telah melampaui berbagai era tinju. Itu adalah dunia yang berbeda saat itu, kita memiliki 20-30 penulis tinggal selama berminggu-minggu di kamp pelatihan. Saya mengenal petinju dan pelatih lama.”

Hall of Famer Sugar Ray Leonard, Keith Thurman, Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter & More Discuss The Latest In Series Of Welterweight Blockbusters
SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING® Tinggal di 5:15 p.m. DAN/2:15 p.m. PT From Bramall Lane In Sheffield, Inggris
NEW YORK (Mei 23, 2017) – IBF Welterweight World Champion Kell Brook and undefeated rising star Errol Spence face offSabtu ini hidup di SHOWTIME (5:15 p.m. DAN/2:15 p.m. PT) in the latest in a series of significant welterweight matchups between the best fighters in one of boxing’s deepest divisions.
Six of the top eight welterweights in the world* will have fought in the first five months of 2017 – all on SHOWTIME or CBS – as a de facto tournament continues in the 147-pound class to determine the No. 1 fighter in a division long controlled by the retired Floyd Mayweather.
*Source: Transnational Boxing Rankings
WBA and WBC Welterweight World Champion Keith Thurman unified the titles onBulan Maret 4with a split-decision victory over Danny Garcia in a rare matchup of undefeated champions. Lamont Peterson picked up the secondary WBA Regular title onFebruari. 18, dan Bulan April 22Shawn Porter knocked out Andre Berto to become the mandatory challenger to Thurman’s WBC belt. The remaining welterweight champion, Manny Pacquiao, is set to defend his WBO title against Jeff Horn onBulan Juli 2.
Now it’s Brook and Spence’s turn to take center stage in boxing’s glamour division.
Sabtu ini di Sheffield, Inggris, Selokan (36-1, 25 Biaya) will make the fourth defense of the IBF belt he won via majority decision over Porter in 2014. The 31-year-old, yang tidak pernah terjatuh, will be the decided hometown favorite in front of what is expected to be 25,000-plus fans in the first world title fight in the 162-year history of Bramall Lane.
The 27-year-old Spence (21-0, 18 Biaya) has long been considered one of boxing’s most prized prospects. The IBF’s No. 1 contender has knocked out eight straight opponents and has improved as his level of opposition has risen – his last six opponents held an impressive combined record of 151 wins against just eight losses. The Dallas resident travels abroad for this long-awaited title opportunity as he attempts to become the first American to dethrone an Englishman on British soil in nearly a decade.**
With both Spence and Brook affirming their intention to unify the division afterMei 27, see below for what legendary Hall of Famer Sugar Ray Leonard and current top welterweights have to say aboutSabtuIBF title matchup.
SUGAR RAY LEONARD – Former Undisputed Welterweight World Champion
“I’m really excited about this fight in particular, mainly because both fighters have to be on their A-game. I know there is talk about Kell’s eye surgery being a psychological problem, but from personal experience, I don’t see that being the case. I never thought about my eye once the doctor gave me the green light.
“To ask me who is going to win this fight, I have my favorite in Errol Spence. Tapi, based on the each fighter’s physical artillery, one punch can turn the tables around. Itu dikatakan, I am going to sit back and watch a great night of boxing.”
KEITH THURMAN – Unified WBA & WBC Welterweight World Champion
“This is an interesting fight. I have not followed Kell too much, but I have obviously seen Errol fight in the U.S. Errol is a tough, young fighter who is just getting into the public’s eye, and Kell obviously has the strength of the British crowd on his side.
“It should be a tough fight that really speaks to the strength of the welterweight division. Both fighters are men that I would be open to fighting as I continue to unify the division in 2018. As a fight fan, let’s see what’s ‘Special’ about Kell Brook, and we’ll see if Errol Spence can show us he’s ‘The Truth.’ It should be a great fight and I’ll be watching.”
DANNY GARCIA – Former Welterweight World Champion
“I think this is a 50/50 pertarungan. I think the person with the better game plan is going to win. There is a lot of pressure to go into someone’s backyard like Spence is doing, and he’s never faced a fighter in his prime before like Brook. It is definitely a test for him and a big step up in competition. If he is ready, he can do it. He just has to go in there and stay focused.
“The welterweight division is the best division in boxing. I still feel like I am one of the best welterweights in the world even though I came up short. I never thought I would say a loss would make me stronger because I didn’t see myself losing. I want my titles back and to be seen as the best in the best division.”
SHAWN PORTER – Former Welterweight Champion & Current WBC No. 1 Contender
“I’m glad Errol is getting his title shot, and I’m happy he’s going to England for it. I’m obviously pulling for the American. Errol is a phenomenal athlete and a great boxer. I think he’s ready to show the world something, but Kell is right up there in that top tier of welterweights. People who tune in should be thrilled. I know I’m looking forward to it.
“The welterweight division is awesome, top to bottom. We’re right where we need to be and should be. Boxing returning back to the masses with PBC came at the perfect time for me and the rest of the top welterweights. There are so many of us capable of winning a title right now.”
LAMONT PETERSON – WBA (Regular) Juara Dunia Kelas Welter
“This is going to be a tough fight, but I think Errol should win. At least I’m pulling for Errol to win. He’s got to overcome the idea that there will probably be 30,000 people cheering against him, so he has to show the judges that he deserves to win.
“Brook is a good fighter and is going to bring his best, but I think Errol, pada akhirnya, is the better fighter. But he will have to prove it.
“The welterweight division is one of the best in boxing right now. We’ve got a lot of good fighters in their prime making the division strong. And guys are willing to fight each other. We are seeing the kind of fights the fans want to see. If this keeps up it could bring boxing back to where it was in the days when Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns and Marvin Hagler all fought each other. So it’s really good for boxing right now.”
